Manchu Vishnu’s Kannappa movie is set to arrive in theaters on June 27, 2025. The film’s pre-release event was held last night, and the latest news is that it has completed censor work. Kannappa’s runtime is 195 minutes.
The mythological film “Kannappa” has received a U/A censor certificate and a runtime of 3 hours and 15 minutes (195 minutes). The runtime was finalized after extensive editing. The censor report contains some crucial details about the film’s characters.
Even with some scenes edited for better flow, Prabhas remains in the film for 30 minutes, and Mohanlal features in a 15-minute cameo. The netizens are shocked as they learn that Manchu Vishnu’s Kannappa’s runtime is 195 minutes.
Kannappa’s Content needs to be solid with such a lengthy runtime
It remains to be seen whether this is the final runtime or the unit trims it further. With such a long runtime, the film needs to get positive reviews, or otherwise it will fail to attract audiences for such a lengthy runtime.
The film encountered controversy during the censoring process, prompting the censor board to respond to Brahmin objections about specific scenes. Reportedly, the censor board objected to 13 scenes, prompting the makers to remove them for certification.
